Amieira do Tejo is a small town ( vila ) and former municipality in Portugal .
history
Antas and other finds prove a prehistoric settlement.
The Romans left numerous traces of their presence, as well as coins and ceramics as well as a bridge.
The present-day place was created in the course of the settlement policy at the end of the Portuguese Reconquista , when the young Kingdom of Portugal took large parts of the Alentejo from the Moors . The area went to the Hospitaller Order around 1194 , who founded various places in the region.
Amieira received its first town charter before 1256 . It became a vila and the seat of its own district. King Manuel I renewed the town charter in 1512 .
In the course of the administrative reforms after the Liberal Revolution in 1822 , the district was dissolved in the middle of the 19th century and incorporated as a municipality into the Nisa district. In contrast to a number of other Portuguese places with the name Amieira, the place has officially had the addition do Tejo since 1957 , referring to its proximity to the Tagus River .
With the territorial reform of 2013, the municipality of Amieira do Tejo was dissolved and merged with Arez .
